It is a simple choice: 2nd hand PP5110G or new LUC 1963 Chronometer
Prices are similar.
Both are family-owned brands and true PuristS watches.
Both are 'white' metal albeit the new Chopard is platinum.
Both are 'rare' and 'fine' but the Chopard is limited to 50 pristine new pieces. There are more Patek Philippe Worldtimers out there but they are out-of-production 2nd hand pieces with all the risks of age and lack of servicing.
I already ordered the sister watch - LUC 1963 Chronograph PuristS' Edition.
It's tough but as I already have other travel time watches, the current Mrs MTF says it's an "easy" choice.......hmmm....easy for some but......

Chopard at QP Salon 2014
Chopard at QP Salon 2014 After living abroad for the last 14 years, I returned home to the UK, resigned to a desert for watches. It was not made easier receiving condolences from my watch-buddies before, during and after the move! Even amanico tendered hi...
Chopard 1963 Chronometer, for me, please.
Very nice movement, great dial, and it seems that the case is interresting, too. I still have to see it in the flesh, to be fully sure, but it looks promising. I would prefer to have the small second at 6 o clock, though... Aaah, Melvyn, be strong! ;) Bes...
Good choice of Chopard LUC 1963 Chronometer
We agree (the current Mrs MTF and me) ...the platinum model of LUC 1963 Chronometer is a stunner. Do you like the rose gold version too? The seconds sub dial position directly opposite the crown at 9 o'clock position is purely determined by the pocket wat...
I guessed it was due to the movement architecture.
And it is not a big issue for me... Between the rose gold and the platinum, no doubt for me, platinum, please. The only colored thing I am found of is... Blood. ;) Best, Vlad.
The LUC 1963 Chronometer in platinum ...
is another very nice option which I just saw briefly in the window of the Geneva boutique. Even then it got my attention. Will have to try it as well on my wrist, as soon as possible. Easy to see that you had a great time in London at QP. Cheers, Oliver
Wait until we get first the PuristS Chronograph and then the LUC 1963 Chronometer
If the Roll Call is too early, we won't have time to assemble the PuristS and their collections...... ;) MTF

Uh Oh
I think I am in serious lust with the Platinum L.U.C 1963 Chronometer! Not good! Best, CaliforniaJed
I would say Mrs. MTF has great taste
I love that platinum LUC 1963 Chronometer too. Thanks for the fine report MTF, and congratulations on finding your way back home. That is never a bad thing my Friend :-)
